FOUNTAIN-PEN.v

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 498,514, dated May 30,` 1893. Application filed September 27, 1892. Serial No. 447,058. (Nomodel.)

Be it known that I, GEORGE A. HALL, a citizen of the United States,residing yat Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of Michigan,have invented certain new and useand repulsion for this purpose, by theemploy-y ment of a conical helical ink conducting shaft of Wire,arranged Within the ink reservoir and connected to the pen for feedingthe same continuously and preventing too copious a flow or the gushingoutof the ink around the pen:

particularly When the reservoir is nearly emp-v ty: and the inventionconsists in the application of such a conducting shaft in such relationand in the construction, combination and arrangement of the variousparts as hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings wherein- Figure 1. is a centrallongitudinal section of a device embodying my invention and Fig. 2. atransverse section on the line 2 2. of Fig. l.

A-represents the barrel or ink reservoir and forms the handle of thepen. B. the pen section or nozzle, open at both ends and secured to theopen end of the barrel by a screw coup- I ling in the usual manner.

Y tact with the split portion of the pen and having the ink channel E.extending along its entire length immediately underneath the pen: itsrear portion extends into the ink reservoir and forms a support andplace for atof which areA extended into thebarrel unt-il the largercoils are in superficial contact with the interior surface of the barrelas shown in Fig. .1.A In iillingthe reservoir I prefertov leave a'spacefor this coil at the open end:v

then when in use, ink will not escape between the coils, but willfollower be attracted along the Wire down on to the plug and'ow out onto the pen through the channel E. thus feeding the pen continuouslyIwith an even Aflow sufficient for Writing: while by not permitting itsescape into the chamber in front of the coil the ink is kept back andnot permitted to gush out upon the paper.

The plug D. may be made large enough to hold the penin place and wedgeF. dispensed With if found desirable.

I-claiml. In a fountain pen, the combination with the ink reservoir, thedetachable portion or nozzle, the pen holding plug, having the inkchannel, and the pen, of the ink conducting coil or Wire, having theapex, or. lower end,

attached tothe plug, and the enlarging coils extended into the barrelincreasing in circumference until the larger coils are in superficialcontact with the interior surface of the birrehwhereby the inl; is fedcontinuously to the pen and prevented from gushing out, sub- Intestimony whereof I aflixm y signature in l presence of two Witnesses.
